Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

The mother and child's cries attracted people from the neighboring courtyard to come and watch. Those who didn't know the truth pointed and whispered at them, and some well-meaning people even asked if there was some misunderstanding.

Human nature is inherently fickle, and this was on full display at this moment. Some people were even misled, began to doubt the truth of the matter, and blocked the entrance.

Chen Liang felt a chill run down his spine... This seemed like a serious matter; if it caused a public incident, he would be in deep trouble!

Chen Liang felt a pang of hesitation and subconsciously looked at Tian Zao.

Tian Zao also felt a little regretful, as if she had embarrassed Uncle Liang.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai felt confident that he had succeeded again.

"Officer, look... the Jia family mother and son must have realized their mistake. Why don't we give them a chance? Don't worry, all of us in the compound will keep an eye on Jia Dongxu! There are so many of us watching him."

After saying that, he made another suggestion to Tian Zao.

"Comrade, comrade! Let Dongxu's family compensate you with a cotton-padded coat and bow down to apologize. How about that? The Jia family is pitiful too; the man died young, leaving behind an orphan and a widow... Alas!"

"Zao'er, what do you think?" Chen Liang asked Tian Zao with a complicated expression.

"Officer Chen! Since you know this woman, you should avoid her. Call two more people from the station to handle this!"

Before Tian Zao could even speak, Lin Weidong shouted out.

Chen Liang turned his head and met Lin Weidong's disdainful gaze, hesitating to speak and filled with doubt.

It's understandable that he's angry because he knows Tian Zao, but he doesn't know Lin Weidong, so he doesn't understand why Lin Weidong is even more enthusiastic than him.

He couldn't understand it, but he obediently pulled his leg away and jogged towards the police station.

Tian Zao was also confused, as were the two groups of people inside and outside the courtyard.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Weidong walked to the steps at the entrance of the courtyard and gestured to both sides.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

The crowd stopped their discussion and began whispering amongst themselves, but all their eyes were fixed on him, waiting to see what he wanted to say.

"What I'm about to say has little to do with those three, but it concerns all of us."

Yi Zhonghai was about to have Jia's mother and son say some words of apology and assurance to everyone when Lin Weidong interrupted the arrangement with a single sentence: "It has nothing to do with the Jia family? Then let's see what a greenhorn like you can say."

Lin Weidong glanced at him, chuckled inwardly, and then spoke loudly.

"Everyone, there may be some newcomers who don't know what's going on, so let me briefly summarize it here."

"The incident started when Jia Dongxu from our department kept bothering this woman, asking her if she had a boyfriend. The woman got annoyed and said she didn't and was about to leave when Jia Dongxu grabbed her clothes. The woman got scared and slapped him across the face."

"Am I wrong, Jia Dongxu? Teacher Yan saw it all clearly. Putting aside how to characterize it, whether your behavior was indecent or not, just the matter at hand, am I wrong?"

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and remained silent. Lin Weidong shrugged and paused for a few seconds. The onlookers shook their heads in disdain. Wasn't this just being a hooligan?

Lin Weidong added.

"The matter should have ended here, at most ending on bad terms, but! Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhangshi, rushed out of the house after hearing about it and started hitting the woman without asking any questions. Everyone can see that, right? They both have marks from the fight."

"Of course, Jia Dongxu did one thing very well during this process: he broke up the fight! He held Jia Zhangshi back and prevented the two from fighting."

Upon hearing the praise, Jia Dongxu looked up in disbelief.

A surge of emotion welled up within him, and he felt like crying again; he had been belittled so many times today!

"Ladies and gentlemen, from this point of view alone, Comrade Jia Dongxu is not beyond redemption. There is a poem that I don't know if you have heard: 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman.' It means that everyone has the right to pursue beautiful things! Don't think that 'fair maiden' only refers to female comrades; it can also refer to male comrades, and even more so to the wonderful life we ​​are enjoying now, with the war over and families reunited!"

"So who created this wonderful life? Everyone! It was ourselves! It was the Party and the country that led us to create it together! It was our people's soldiers who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to create it!"

"Why do we create such a wonderful living environment and such a peaceful and stable society? Everyone, it's so that we, the people, can be masters of our own destiny! It's for equality for all!"

"But now! We haven't even realized this ourselves, or perhaps we don't even believe it ourselves? Why? Because we've been kneeling for so long! We've knelt so long that we don't even know if standing up this time is a rest or a complete straightening of our backs! Then I would like to ask everyone, in the old days of decades of war, which army could be as steadfast as our People's Liberation Army in ensuring that not a single enemy is harmed?"

"Did they? No! Only the People's Liberation Army, led by our Party and the state, has accomplished this! This is the promise of the Party and the state! It is a promise made to our own people!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, think back to last year, the wheat ripened thousands of times, and this was the first time in a million years that the people were alive!"

"This is the first time in history!" Lin Weidong's voice trembled, and his excitement infected those around him.

The onlookers swallowed hard, their throats itched, and some even had tears welling up in their eyes.

"Tell me! With a country like this, a political party like this, and a government like this, what is there that we can't trust?"

"Believe!!!" a young man shouted, his anger seemingly about to erupt.

"Since we trust the Party and the country, and trust the government, why don't we trust our public security force? Do we think our police stations are some kind of den of dragons and tigers?"

Lin Weidong asked another question, and everyone's eyes turned to Yi Zhonghai and the other two.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai and his two companions were under immense pressure, as each gaze seemed to pierce through them!

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

The knife that Lin Weidong intended to use to strike him was just drawn from its sheath.

"Yes! Everyone finds it hard to believe, right? But that's exactly what many of us think! Not to mention anything else, the Jia Zhang family mother and son immediately started crying and wailing when they heard they were going to the police station! Yi Zhonghai went to great lengths to plead for them, as if they would never come back! Isn't this a misunderstanding, a conflict, and a lack of trust?!"

"Everyone! What are police stations and public security bureaus? They're places that protect us! Why should we be afraid of going to such places? How can we be afraid?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we now live in a country where the people are the masters! Can our police stations be the same as the police stations of the old society? Can they be?"

"Many people here are parents, some are even grandparents. Which family doesn't educate their children? Which child doesn't get a beating when they make a mistake? If they aren't educated, how can they learn to behave? If they aren't beaten, how can they learn their lesson?"
